The only two college sports that make ANY money are MBB and football. Shit, March Madness makes more than any other NCAA sporting event combined. They split off from the rest and you may as well kiss olympic sports goodbye. I love football, but not at the cost of the thousands of other athletes in other sports across the nation.It blows my mind someone can write that and not grasp how out of touch they are with reality.
Kill college athletics? Isn’t there a cloud you should be yelling at?
The NCAA could have spent the last 20 years implementing smart, gradual changes as money was piling in. At a minimum they could have tried to control coaches and administrator salaries. But they did nothing and now the have this mess.
This sucks, but get a grip. “Free clothing“ and “preferential meals“?
I'm not opposed at all to coach or administrator salaries. But the NCAA has zero control over that. The NCAA is simply a governing body set up by the schools, they cannot dictate what the schools spend their money on or how they pay their employees.
If you want to point at anything, point at the NFL for making rules about when players can enter the league, but even then, far too many players are vastly overestimating their own worth. What do you really think is worth more, the name on the front of the jersey, or the back?
And yes, free clothing. Actually speak with a college athlete some time. The amount of free shit they get is ridiculous.
